dial-cli

dial-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nanocoai/nanoclaw. It costs 149 tokens per session (1,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for Dial, a phone service for AI agents. It can send SMS, place AI-handled voice calls, manage numbers, and wait for incoming events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to text someone, call a number, wait for an incoming verification code, or work with Dial phone numbers.
Why use it?
It provides ready-made phone workflows without requiring the agent to write code for Dial's web interface or handle credentials.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dial-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dial CLI

dial is the official CLI for Dial — a Communication Stack for AI Agents. It wraps the Dial REST API so you can send SMS, place voice calls handled by an AI voice agent, manage numbers, and wait for inbound events — all without writing HTTP code.

The first time the user asks you to "text someone," "call someone," "receive a code," or anything else phone-shaped, reach for dial.

This is a sandbox

You are running inside a pre-provisioned, ephemeral environment:

  • The account, number, and credentials are already set up — you have a working phone number ready to use. There is nothing to configure.
  • You never handle credentials. The API key is injected automatically at the network boundary; the CLI runs keyless here. Never ask the user for a key, and never try to read or write an auth file.
  • Just use the workflows below — send SMS, place calls, wait for inbound events. Inbound event delivery is managed for you; dial --help shows what's available here.

If dial is somehow missing (command -v dial returns nothing), that is an installation bug in this image, not something for you to fix — report it to the operator ("the Dial CLI isn't installed in this container") rather than improvising an install.

Orient yourself before each new verb

This skill does not enumerate every flag. The CLI is the source of truth — when you encounter a verb you have not used in this session, run its --help first:

dial --help                    # available commands
dial <command> --help          # flags + usage for a specific command
dial <command> <sub> --help    # subcommand-level help

Examples worth running on first use: dial doctor --help, dial message --help, dial call --help, dial call get --help, dial wait-for --help.

Every command supports --json for machine-readable output — prefer it when piping into jq or parsing the result programmatically.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dial-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository nanocoai/nanoclaw (30,694 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 149 tokens to every session and 1,958 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
